Do people actually basses around a campfire? Or any instrument?
firewood, I think he has something there ????
Would love to see something on the Kala U-Bass
What about the Martin DJR-10E.?
Reviewing an acoustic bass and not demo it unplugged… ????
Everyone gave up on producing a decent acoustic bass and started making toys.
I just purchased a Gold Tone M-Bass. That's how I got here. I have a Kala U-Bass but the balance between the strings doesn't match. The two outside strings are softer than the middle 2 strings. These types of basses have their own sound and I like it. Not like an upright nor an electric. I use the Kala in a bluegrass band when we play on crowded platforms that are sometimes difficult to get 5 people on much less with an upright. It work great and the look is exactly the opposite of an upright.
for campfire situations, I bring a mini bass (Ohana OBU, it's great), and a battery powered speaker. Acoustically, little basses just can't cut it against more than one guitar, if that. Upright bass bodies are big for a reason! Full size ABG's have a chance, but still generally so much better plugged in.
I just bought the Ibanez used w/case for $179. I plan to use it as an acoustic bass to play with recorded music as to practice playing along without needing to fuss with an amp. I also think electrically it sounded incredible and will for sure be recording with it. It appears to have a very sharp dynamic signature which I also like. Money well spent. Thanks for the demos guys!
I'm not impressed until I hear an acoustic bass guitar that sounds good unplugged.
Put a mike to the thing.
Have considered to try yjose accoustic basses… accoustic ? I don't care if it have open gears, I want to know the sound of it unplugged !
What are you doing in a video in your underware?
Thank you guys, its inspiring. I had one 3-4 years ago, a lot of fun! And tomorrow my Harley Benton B-35NT will arrive. Cant wait. Some my old video with HB hbb40ce – https://youtu.be/dBoVj5_mZG8
That guitar track really snuck in a SpongeBob lick
I have the ibanez and its the ideal sofa or garden bass. No faffing with cables and short enough that you can sit next to someone whilst playing, plus loud enough to jam with acoustics in the garden without annoying the neighbours or wildlife.
just buy a cordoba minibass 2 and call it a day. these are super cool and sound awesome but are as everyone is pointing out niche instruments, so unless you have a very particular usage/intentions for one of these, your GAS would probably be better satiated with something else.
me on the other hand, do love what these things do and are for! i imagine someday i will buy a more expensive mini like a ukulele-toned GT, but for now and for the use 150 dollars for an ultra small scale acoustic electric bass cant really be beat by anything showcased in this video imo (although i hear the ibanez is great!). dont let GAS get you!
Why did he do this video in his boxers?
Played onthe Taylor today in my local shop……..the finest acoustic bass i can get around me…..the action was superb and that neck is butter
I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time. Just the convenience of having something small and comfortable to play is what I’m looking for. Larger scale acoustic bases are so lame and huge that’s why you never see is playing them lol
These are definitely niche products. They’re meant to play along with other travel acoustic instruments. As a bassist I always felt left out when a jam session would break out at a party or the beach campfire. When I did buy one, I would lug my acoustic bass, hard case and all, to the beach or on the trail with the risk that we wouldn’t play. One of these would’ve helped a lot.
The U-bass strings really take some getting used to to get them to sound good (no disrespect to Lee who is a fantastic bassist!!) but they are a different animal. It's worth checking out Julia Hofer's demo if you are considering one…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1eunn_7rfc.
Awesome presentation bredren ????????
Picked up the Ibanez
Looking forward to enjoying it
Thanks for sharing
PRETTY NEAT, PRETTY NEAT. . . PRETTY GOOD, P R E T T Y G O O D. . . . why so many cords, and things…?
YA… OKAY, SOOO… how's the m-er f-er sound…. UNPLUGGED….? wtf gentlemen…? GO OUTSIDE… or at least…
ya don't say… @ 3:30…. ACOUSTICALLY…. with another dang ol' ACOUSTIC GUITAR….? SAVIOR… REALLY….
JUST CUZ A CAN, DOESN'T always have to MEAN YA S H O U L D . . . . 5 SECONDS OF ACOUSTIC… nailed it…!
I wonder if I could convert one of my cheaper acoustic guitars into a bass? It's an Epiphone AJ-220
Could have done your research better. The Ibanez, like the Guild Jumbo Junior Bass, uses exactly the same nylon-core D’Addario strings as the Taylor. Also, if you lighten up your attack and let the amp do the work, you get a much better, woody tone.
acoustic and they both plugged into an amp.
Funny how the American $1000 Taylor has an issue out of the box that just needs a little bit of adjustment, but if a Squier came that way, you'd dismiss it as "well, this is what you get from Asian factories."
These don't look that small. You might have overlooked quite a few of them. Cordoba, Redlands, Ibanez, Yamaha, Taylor and there are more. They all do travel basses.
The golden tone bass guitar is made of NATO wood? Putin doesn't like that at all…????
I wouldn’t have done this video in shorts – but it’s great
I have never understood the point of an acoustic bass and I never will. Virtually none of them are loud enough to hear unplugged in a band setting, and when they're plugged in they either have that crappy piezo sound or a sound not that dissimilar from an electric bass anyway, so why bother? Play a P bass and be done with it. I will say that the basses that use the silicone strings (Kala, Goldtone, or the original Ashbory) are at least unique in that they do have their own sound plugged in (a huge fat tone at that too), but again, you could never play one unplugged and be heard. The only "true" acoustic bass you can play unplugged and be heard on in a band setting that gives you enough low end is an upright.
the gold tone sounds beautiful and you somehow made it sound like ass
Ever had one of those nightmares where you realise you don't have any trousers on … and you're being filmed for an Andertons video?
A terrible review of a good instrument, the Gold Tone micro bass. Lee decides to play it as though he's hitting a jazz with roundwounds – totally incorrect and ending up with a misleading review, which could leave many folks doubting its use. Ive played for over 40 years, I have one of these in my collection and it is great for certain situations, is well made and well priced. Lee should consider a second review.
If played correctly you can play the Taylor so it doesn’t twang
I'd love it of someone could make an acoustic bass that doesn't need to be amplified in an acoustic setting. As soon as an acoustic guitar or singer join in, the bass gets completely lost.
Around 0:42 cheeky spongebob riff haha
Aye! Lovely
These are some of the fartiest sounding basses ever. It’s like a Family Guy episode.
Or you can just make a fretless acoustic U-bass. Speaking of which, anyone want to buy one?
Spongebob Squarepants
Love a good acoustic bass, own several….still have yet to hear one that sounds good plugged in. These ones included. They sound terrible plugged in.
